<![CDATA[Indonesian language learning at the senior high school level is expected to foster advanced literacy, particularly students’ ability to interpret, evaluate, and respond critically to texts within their social contexts. Anecdote texts are relevant for this purpose because they contain humor, satire, and social criticism that require interpretive and ethical understanding. Existing teaching materials, however, tend to emphasize linguistic aspects and final tasks rather than systematic guidance for critical reading and value internalization. This study aims to analyze the characteristics of anecdote text teaching materials based on the Athirah Integrated Holistic Education System and the social inquiry method in Indonesian language learning. The study employed a qualitative descriptive approach using document analysis and qualitative content analysis. The data source was the teaching material book The Art of Criticizing with a Smile. The analysis framework combined indicators of the Athirah Integrated Holistic Education System, stages of social inquiry, and teaching material quality, including content, presentation, language readability, and graphics. The findings show that the teaching materials are systematically organized into six learning units and explicitly integrate the holistic components of mind, heart, soul, spirit, and body. The materials also consistently apply social inquiry stages through orientation, definition, exploration and verification, and generalization. These characteristics indicate that the teaching materials support critical literacy, ethical communication, creative writing, and students’ social awareness. The study concludes that the integration of the Athirah Integrated Holistic Education System and social inquiry provides an innovative and meaningful framework for anecdote text teaching materials in Indonesian language learning.]]>
